Watch the Explosive New ‘Walking Dead’ Season 5 Trailer

AMC unleashed a 3 minute long trailer for the “The Walking Dead” season five today and for those wondering where the survivors are headed, the answer is simple: north. But as we’ve learned over the last several years, nothing in the zombie apocalypse is ever easy.

When season four concluded, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and company were being held captive at Terminus, a possible refuge for cannibals. In the new trailer, it’s clear that they’re going to make it out alive in some fashion, but there will be struggles so hard that Lincoln will deliver the sweatiest performance of his career.

Also featured are a host of fresh zombie kills, explosions and forthcoming drama between Rick and Terminus leader Gareth, played by Andrew J. West.

“The Walking Dead” returns on October 12 at 9 pm on AMC. Check out the trailer below:
